The wisdom from above is without a trace of partiality. Martin Luther King once said, “We may all have come to America on different ships, but we’re all in the same boat now.” Yes? We came on different ships, but we’re all in the same boat now.

Some of us sailed here from England on the Mayflower; others from West Africa on slave ships. Some of us came here on clipper ships from barren potato fields in Ireland, and others on steamships from cramped and impoverished Europe. Some of us came here fleeing the Jewish pogroms of Russia and Poland. Some of us arrived here on ocean-liners which docked first at Ellis Island, where they changed our name from Novawitski to Novak. Others deplaned from DC-10's at JFK from Beirut or Bombay or Baghdad or Islamabad or Istanbul. Some of us crossed the Gulf of Mexico to Miami from Cuba in 16-foot skiffs. Some of us came here on giant military transport planes from Vietnam. Some of us crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico in inflatable rafts. Some of us flew first class on a 747 from Beijing or Tokyo to a six-figure job at Pfizer because we had a Ph.D. in chemical engineering.

We may all have arrived on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now. Therefore, the only way forward is to strive for the wisdom from above, which is without a trace of partiality.
